About the Item

The 1993 Hippodrome Jean Gabin poster by Jean Marais captures an intense, symbolic style that is both bold and reflective. Created for the Prix Jean Gabin event, held at the Hippodrome Jean Gabin in Moulins-la-Marche, Orne, on July 18, 1993, this poster exemplifies Marais’ unique artistic vision, blending graphic art with deep emotion and symbolism. The composition centers around a striking red horse, stylized with a surreal touch, and flanked by two black-and-white faces. These faces appear as shadows or reflections of the horse, suggesting the deep connection between human and animal spirit. The choice of colors and shapes imparts a powerful emotional resonance, with the horse’s red hue evoking passion, energy, and vitality, while the monochrome faces add contrast and depth, emphasizing the horse as the focal point. Above the horse’s head, a delicate flower bouquet emerges, giving the poster a touch of hope and gentleness in an otherwise bold design. The handwritten text surrounding the image, including the name of the event and location, gives the work a personal, intimate feel, as if each element has been crafted by hand rather than mass-produced. This hand-lettered style brings Marais' personality and touch directly into the composition. Jean Marais, a well-known French actor, artist, and designer, was deeply involved in both the creative and performance arts. His foray into poster art for events like the Prix Jean Gabin reflects his versatility and passion for expression beyond the screen or stage. The message at the bottom of the poster, also handwritten, adds a personal note, reinforcing the artist’s connection with the event and its audience. This poster stands out not only as a promotional piece but also as a work of art in its own right, encapsulating the spirit of the event and Marais' signature expressive style. Collectors and fans alike appreciate it for its artistic quality, its rare insight into Marais’ visual art, and its commemoration of the Prix Jean Gabin event in 1993.
